Documentation Overview

The application, theory, and use of the STOMP simulator are documented in four manuals:

• Nichols, W.E., N.J. Aimo, M. Oostrom, and M.D. White. 1997. STOMP Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phases: Application Guide PNNL-11216 (UC-2010), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington.
  
  
• White, M.D., and M. Oostrom. 2000. STOMP Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phase: Theory Guide PNNL-11216 (UC-2010), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington.
  
  
• White, M.D., and M. Oostrom. 2006. STOMP Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phase: User's Guide PNNL-15782 (UC-2010), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington.
  
  
• Ward AL, MD White, EJ Freeman, and ZF Zhang. 2005. STOMP Subsurface Transport Over Multiple Phase Addendum: Sparse Vegetation Evapotranspiration Model for the Water-Air-Energy Operational Mode. PNNL-15465, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington.

The Application Guide provides instructive examples in the application of the simulator to classical groundwater problems. The governing equations, constitutive relations and numerical solution algorithms that comprise the simulator are described in the Theory Guide. The User's Guide describes the general use, input file formatting, compilation and execution of the simulator. The soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer Addendum describes the theory and application of the simulator to sparsely vegetated surfaces while considering ponding, runoff, evaporation, infiltration, and plant transpiration. These guides were written for scientists and engineers with an understanding of multiple-phase hydrologic systems, including concepts of thermodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, relative permeability-saturation-capillary pressure theories, and reactive transport. The authors further assumed that the reader would be familiar with the computing environment on which the simulator would be compiled and executed.
